Use a secret reference with a query parameter to retrieve a one-time password:

op read "op://app-prod/db/one-time password?attribute=otp"

Use a secret reference with a query parameter to get an SSH key's private key in the OpenSSH format:

op read "op://app-prod/ssh key/private key?ssh-format=openssh"

Save the SSH key found ßon the item ssh in the server vault as a new file key.pem on your computer:

op read --out-file ./key.pem op://app-prod/server/ssh/key.pem

Use op read in a command with secret references in place of plaintext secrets:

docker login -u $(op read op://prod/docker/username) -p $(op read op://prod/docker/password)
